Recommended by Sameer Taneja, executive chef at one-starred Indian restaurant Benares in Mayfair: “My go-to eatery for Kolkata-inspired meat and vegetable wraps that are absolutely delicious. My wife and I have been regular visitors since before our kids were born, and I have fond memories of this little place. It’s always a treat to enjoy their excellent spicy wraps, a bottle of beer, and good old Bollywood music.”
Recommended by Benjamin Ferra Y Castell from one-starred Pavyllon at the Four Seasons Hotel: “They offer great Italian coffee with authentic products from different regions of Italy. You can try different sandwiches and they have an excellent burrata. They serve real coffee, how it should be made.”
BAO, Soho (and elsewhere)
Recommended by Sofian Msetfi, executive chef at Mayfair’s one-starred Ormer restaurant: “A brilliant dining experience with high-quality and fresh ingredients. With locations in Battersea Power Station, Borough, King’s Cross, Marylebone and Shoreditch, BAO is known for its creative take on Taiwanese street food. They offer some of the best bao buns in the city which start from just £6, plus there’s affordably priced small plates, allowing for a diverse tasting experience without overspending.”
Berenjak, Soho (and Borough)
Recommended by Sofian Msetfi: “A traditional Persian dining experience – I’d recommend ordering a charcoal grilled kebab for the table plus a selection of the mezeh-style sharing plates to accommodate a budget of £40 for two.”
Tongue and Brisket, Goodge Street
Recommended by Pied à Terre owner David Moore: “Bring your appetite as portions are generous. I have a large salt beef on rye, pickles and mustard, £10 take away, a bit more to eat in. If dining in, try the latka, fish balls and an excellent chopped liver, cucumber salad on side. No licence for booze… not a bad thing.”
